Saros Series of Lunar Eclipses

Lunar Eclipses in Saros Series 135

This page lists all the lunar eclipses in saros series 135. The series contains 71 eclipses, occurring over 1262 years.

The following chart shows the position where the Moon
is directly overhead at the maximum times of the
total (in blue) and
partial (in red) lunar eclipses (penumbral eclipses are
omitted). Each eclipse will be visible approximately
from the half of the Earth centred on that point. Note
that we only have mapping data for
eclipses from year 1 AD, so any eclipses prior to that
date will be missing. Use the
zoom controls on the left to zoom in and out; hover over
a marker to see the area of visibility and summary
information on that eclipse.

In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 4% of the Moon's disc for 55 minutes and 36 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.

In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 13% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 39 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.

This very subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 11 minutes, just 22% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This very subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 2 hours and 38 minutes, just 33% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This very subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 3 minutes, just 45% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This very subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse was essentially invisible to the naked eye; though it lasted 3 hours and 25 minutes, just 58% of the Moon's disc was in partial shadow (with no part of it in complete shadow).

This subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 71% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 3 hours and 45 minutes.

This subtle penumbral eclipse eclipse may have been visible to a skilled observer at maximum eclipse. 84% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth (none of it was in total shadow), which caused a gentle shadow gradient across its disc at maximum; the eclipse as a whole lasted 4 hours and 3 minutes.

The Moon approached within 2% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse, with the overall eclipse lasting 4 hours and 20 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers.

The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 19 minutes. With 93% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The Moon was almost covered by the Earth's shadow in a very deep partial eclipse, which lasted 3 hours and 23 minutes. With 99% of the Moon in shadow at maximum eclipse, this was quite a memorable event.

The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for 27 minutes and 54 seconds. With the Moon just 3% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 27 minutes in total.

A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 40 minutes and 12 seconds. The Moon was 6% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 29 minutes in total.

A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 46 minutes and 42 seconds. The Moon was 9% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 31 minutes in total.

A shallow total eclipse saw the Moon in relative darkness for 51 minutes and 6 seconds. The Moon was 11% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should have been significantly darkened for viewers from North America (the beginning of the eclipse); eastern Asia and Australia; andmost of Europe and Africa (the end of the eclipse). The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 32 minutes in total.

A shallow total eclipse will see the Moon in relative darkness for 53 minutes and 42 seconds. The Moon will be 12% of its diameter into the Earth's umbral shadow, and should be significantly darkened for viewers in eastern North and South America, all of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and most of Asia.

The Moon will be plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 13 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which will see the Moon 23% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may be stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse will last for 3 hours and 41 minutes in total.

A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 42 minutes will plunge the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passes right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may be stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This will be a great spectacle for everyone who sees it.

A tiny bite out of the Moon may be visible at maximum, though just 4% of the Moon will be shadowed in a partial eclipse lasting for 46 minutes and 48 seconds. A shading across the moon from the Earth's penumbral shadow should be visible at maximum eclipse.

In a rare total penumbral eclipse, the entire Moon will be partially shaded by the Earth (though none of it will be in complete shadow), and the shading across the Moon should be quite visible at maximum eclipse. The penumbral phase will last for 4 hours and 42 minutes in all, though for most of it, the eclipse will be extremely difficult or impossible to see.

In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This will cause a microscopic darkening of just 15% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 53 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see.

In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clips the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This will cause a microscopic darkening of just 6% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 8 minutes, which will be essentially impossible to see.
